SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

AND OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “hopes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “may” or other similar expressions in this Form 10-Q. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective products, applications, customers and technologies; future performance or results of anticipated products; anticipated expenses; and projected financial results. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual results or events could differ materially from the plans, intentions and expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements we make. We have included important factors in the cautionary statements included in this Form 10-Q, particularly in the “Risk Factors” section, that we believe could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements that we make. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments we may make or collaborations or strategic partnerships we may enter into.

You should read this Form 10-Q and the documents that we have filed as exhibits to this Form 10-Q completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We do not assume any obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2018 AND 2017

Note 1 — Description of Business, the Spin-Off and Going Concern and Management’s Plans

Description of Business

Sysorex, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Government Services, Inc., formerly known as (f/k/a) Inpixon Federal, Inc. (“SGS”), (unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “SGS” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer collectively to Sysorex and the above subsidiary, SGS), provides information technology solutions primarily to the public sector. These solutions include cybersecurity, professional services, engineering support, IT consulting, enterprise level technology, networking, wireless, help desk, and custom IT solutions. The Company is headquartered in Virginia.

The Spin-Off

On August 31, 2018 (the "Distribution Date"), the Company became an independent company through the pro rata distribution by Inpixon (Inpixon) of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Sysorex to Inpixon equity holders (which the Company refers to as the Distribution). Each Inpixon equity holder of record as of the close of business on August 21, 2018 received one share of the Company’s common stock for every three shares of Inpixon common stock held on the record date or such number of shares of common stock issuable upon complete conversion of Inpixon convertible preferred stock or exercise of certain participating warrants. Approximately 40 million shares of the Company’s common stock were distributed on the Distribution Date to Inpixon equity holders. The Company’s common stock began regular-way trading on the OTC Markets under the symbol SYSX on September 4, 2018.

Immediately prior to the Distribution, Inpixon transferred substantially all of the assets and liabilities and operations of Inpixon’s value added reseller business to the Company, which was completed on August 31, 2018 (the Capitalization). The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements prior to the Capitalization were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from Inpixon's condensed consolidated financial statements and accounting records. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows as the Company’s business was operated as part of Inpixon’s prior to the Capitalization. Following the Capitalization, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All periods presented have been accounted for in conformity with GAAP.

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had an $89,000 cash balance and a working capital deficit of approximately $15.5 million. In addition, the Company has a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $12.4million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company incurred net losses of approximately $5.4 million. The aforementioned factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company expects its capital resources as of September 30, 2018, availability on the Payplant facility to finance purchase orders and invoices in an amount equal to 80% of the face value of purchase orders received, funds from financing from our former parent Inpixon, higher margin public sector contracts capture, reauthorization of key vendors and credit limitation improvements should be sufficient to fund planned operations during the year ending December 31, 2018; however, the Company will need additional funds to support its operations for the next twelve months. The Company may raise additional capital as needed, through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date the financial statements are issued. Management’s plans and assessment of the probability that such plans will mitigate and alleviate any substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, is dependent upon the ability to attain funding to secure additional resources to generate sufficient revenues and increased margin, which without these represent the principal conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, which are the accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of the Company’s operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 included in the Form 10 filed with SEC on June 15, 2018, as amended.

Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting records of Sysorex and SGS. All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during each of the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s significant estimates consist of:

Revenue Recognition

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-08, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers — Principal versus Agent Considerations”, in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) — Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” and in May 9, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, or ASU 2016-12. This update provides clarifying guidance regarding the application of ASU No. 2014-09 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers which is not yet effective. These new standards provide for a single, principles-based model for revenue recognition that replaces the existing revenue recognition guidance. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 until annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. It has replaced most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The ASU may be applied retrospectively to historical periods presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company has adopted Topic 606 using a modified retrospective approach and will be applied prospectively in the financial statements from January 1, 2018 forward. Revenues under Topic 606 are required to be recognized either at a “point in time” or “over time”, depending on the facts and circumstances of the arrangement, and will be evaluated using a five-step model. The adoption of Topic 606 did have a material impact on our financial statements.

Note 3  —  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Hardware and Software Revenue Recognition

The Company is a primary resale channel for a large group of vendors and suppliers, including original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), software publishers and wholesale distributors.

The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company evaluates the following indicators amongst others when determining whether it is acting as a principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis: (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or service, (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer and (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. If the terms of a transaction do not indicate the Company is acting as a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated revenues are recognized on a net basis.

The Company recognizes revenue once control has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer: (i) the Company has a right to payment for the product or service, (ii) the customer has legal title to the product, (iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer, (iv) the customer has the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the product and (v) the customer has accepted the product. The Company’s products can be delivered to customers in a variety of ways, including (i) as physical product shipped from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by the vendor or supplier or (iii) via electronic delivery of keys for software licenses. The Company’s shipping terms typically specify F.O.B. destination.

The Company leverages drop-shipment arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to its customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouses. The Company is the principal in the transaction and recognizes revenue for drop-shipment arrangements on a gross basis.

The Company may provide integration of products from multiple vendors as a solution it sells to the customer. In this arrangement the Company provides direct warranty to the customer with the Company’s own personnel as the customer requires warranty on the solution and not individual vendor products. This type of warranty is sold integral to the overall solution quoted to the customer. The Company considers these service-type warranties to be performance obligations of the principal from the underlying products that make up a solution and therefore is acting as a principal in the transaction and records revenue on a gross basis at the point of sale.

License and Maintenance Services Revenue Recognition

The Company provides a customized design and configuration solution for its customers and in this capacity resells hardware, software and other IT equipment license and maintenance services in exchange for fixed fees. The Company selects the vendors and sells the products and services, including maintenance services, that best fit the customer’s needs. For sales of maintenance services and warranties, the customer obtains control at the point in time that the services to be provided by a third-party vendor are purchased by the customer and therefore the Company’s performance obligation to provide the overall systems solution is satisfied at that time. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days from the receipt of a customer approved invoice.

For resale of services, including maintenance services, warranties, and extended warranties, the Company is acting as an agent as the primary activity for those services are fulfilled by a third party. While the Company may facilitate and act as a first responder for these services, the third-party service providers perform the primary maintenance and warranty services for the customer. Therefore, the Company is not primarily responsible for performing these services and revenue is recorded on a net basis.

Note 3  —  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)

Professional Services Revenue Recognition

The Company’s professional services include fixed fee and time and materials contracts. Fixed fees are paid monthly, in phases, or upon acceptance of deliverables. The Company’s time and materials contracts are paid weekly or monthly based on hours worked. Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate as direct labor hours are expended. Materials, or other specified direct costs, are reimbursed as actual costs and may include markup. The Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because the Company’s right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date. For fixed fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous service. Because the Company’s contracts have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not incur any such losses. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors. Revenues from time and material or firm fixed price long-term and short-term contracts are derived principally with various United States government agencies and commercial customers.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company amortizes intangible assets with finite lives over their estimated useful lives and review them for impairment whenever an impairment indicator exists. The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate carrying amounts of our long-lived assets, including our intangible assets, may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances occur, we assess recoverability by determining whether the carrying value of such assets will be recovered through the undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of these assets, we recognize an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. The Company did not recognize any intangible asset impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Recent Accounting Standards

The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method which was applied to all contracts at the date of initial application. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2018 balance sheet for the adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue — Revenue from Contracts with Customers were as follows (in millions):

In accordance with the new revenue standard requirements, the disclosure of the impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated income statement and balance sheet was as follows (in millions):

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates events and/or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and before the issue date of the condensed consolidated financial statements to determine if any of those events and/or transactions requires adjustment to or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 — Net loss per common share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the common share equivalents had been issued (computed using the treasury stock or if converted method), if dilutive.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, in determining the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, the Company assumed 21,208,310 shares were outstanding for the period as prior to the date of the spin-off, no common stock of the Company existed.

The following common share equivalents are excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Note 5 — Credit Risk and Concentrations

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable and cash. The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, consequently, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.

The Company maintains cash deposits with financial institutions, which, from time to time, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk from cash.

The following table sets forth the percentages of revenue derived by the Company from those customers which accounted for at least 10% of revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands of dollars):

Note 6 — Short-Term Debt

Revolving Credit Facility

On August 31, 2018, the Company and SGS (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), entered in an agreement with Payplant Alternatives Funds LLC, pursuant to which Payplant may purchase from the Borrowers, in Payplant’s sole and absolute discretion, Eligible Receivables, as that term is defined in the agreement, in exchange for cash advances, subject to the terms and conditions in the agreement.

On September 21, 2018, the Company entered into the Payplant Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Payplant LLC as agent for Payplant Alternatives Fund LLC (“Payplant”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement and the terms set forth in the form of promissory note attached as Exhibit A to the Loan Agreement, (the “Note”), Payplant, in its sole and absolute discretion, may loan money to the Borrowers on the basis of purchase orders or invoices issued by the Borrowers to customers for goods and services provided. The term of any loan made to the Borrowers may not exceed 360 days. The principal amount of any loan will accrue interest at a 30 day rate of 2%, calculated per day. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, interest will accrue at a rate equal to the interest rate plus 0.42% per 30 days. In no event will interest, when combined with all fees that may be characterized as interest, exceed the Maximum Rate, as defined in the Loan Agreement. All computations of interest will be made on the basis of a 360 day year. The Borrowers will have the right to prepay any loan upon the payment of a premium of least 30 days of interest.

As security for the repayment of any loans and the performance of the Borrowers’ Obligations, as defined in the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers granted to Payplant a security interest in the Collateral, as defined in the Loan Agreement.

The Loan Agreement also includes representations and warranties made by the Borrowers, negative covenants prohibiting certain actions by the Borrowers (including, but not limited to, restrictions on additional borrowing without the consent of Payplant, restrictions on the creation of liens on the Borrowers’ property, restrictions on transactions with affiliates, restrictions on the transfer or sale of assets and restrictions on the payment of dividends) and a definition of “Events of Default” that are customary in agreements of this type. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Payplant may, without notice or demand, declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

As of September 30, 2018, the principal amount outstanding under the Loan Agreement was $1,019,097.

 Note 7 — Accrued Issuable Equity

In connection with the Distribution of its common stock, the Company has reserved in treasury 3,194,120 shares of common stock for eventual issuance to certain holders of Inpixon securities that are currently subject to beneficial ownership limitations in connection with the Distribution. On August 31, 2018, we recorded approximately $128,000 of accrued issuable equity in connection with these share issuance obligations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company has recorded a gain on change in fair value of accrued issuable equity of approximately $26,000 which was charged to the statement of operations.

Note 8 — Related Party Transactions

Nadir Ali is the Chief Executive Officer of Inpixon as well as the Chairman of the board of directors of Sysorex.

Pursuant to the terms of those certain employee transition agreements entered into between the Company and Inpixon, effective as of August 31, 2018 (collectively, the “Transition Agreements”), the Company agreed to furnish to Inpixon, on a transitional basis, the services of certain of its employees and keep such employees’ on its payroll and benefits plans from August 31, 2018 through and including December 31, 2018 (the “Transitional Period”).  Inpixon agreed to reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses incurred by the Company with respect to such employees’ employment during the Transitional Period.  the Company agreed to invoice Inpixon upon the calculation of amounts owed for the foregoing costs, and Inpixon agreed to reimburse the Company for all such costs within 3 days of its receipt of each such invoice, plus an administrative service fee of 2% of the gross amount of each respective invoice; provided, however, that the Company agreed to waive such fee for so long as any Inpixon employees are providing any necessary administrative services on behalf of and for the benefit of the Company, including any employees that are furnished to Inpixon in accordance with the Transition Agreements. The total amount of payroll and benefits reimbursed to the Company during the month ended September 30, 2018 was $543,000. In addition, the Company owes Inpixon approximately $750,000 resulting from transactions between the companies during this transition period. The Company anticipates this balance to be repaid by the end of the Transitional Period, December 31, 2018.

Note 9 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements.

If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

On August 10, 2017, Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. (“Embarcadero”) and Idera, Inc. (“Idera”) filed a complaint in the U.S. Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas against SGS and Integrio for failure to pay for purchased software and services pursuant to certain reseller agreements. The complaint alleges that SGS entered into an agreement with Integrio to acquire certain assets and assume certain liabilities of Integrio and are therefore responsible for any amounts due. In the complaint, Embarcadero and Idera demand that SGS and Integrio pay $1,100,000.00 in damages. On April 26, 2018, the parties filed a stipulation of dismissal to dismiss this case with prejudice following entry into a settlement agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to satisfy the outstanding payables. On April 28, 2018, the court rendered the final judgment to approve this stipulation. The liability has been accrued and is included as a component of accounts payable as of September 30, 2018 in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On August 11, 2017, Micro Focus (US) Inc. (“Micro Focus”), filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia against SGS for failure to pay a debt settlement entered into on March 13, 2017 for a principal amount of approximately $246,000 plus accrued interest. The complaint demands full payment of the principal amount of approximately $246,000 plus accrued interest. On October 31, 2017, Micro Focus filed a motion for summary judgment against SGS. The Company consented to the court entering summary judgment in favor of Micro Focus in the amount of approximately $246,000, with interest accruing at 10% per annum from June 13, 2017 until payment is completed. On April 19, 2018, the Company signed a settlement agreement with Microfocus for $200,000 which has been paid as of the date of this filing.

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the combined financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with our audited combined financial statements included in our Information Statement included in our current report on Form 8-K, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 17, 2018. In addition to our historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, particularly in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

The historical financial statements we have included in this Form 10-Q may not reflect what our business, financial position or results of operations would have been had we been a publicly traded company during the periods presented or what our results of operations, financial position and cash flows will be in the future when we are a stand-alone company.

Overview

Sysorex was incorporated in California on January 3, 1994 as Lilien Systems and was acquired by Inpixon on March 20, 2013. Effective January 1, 2016, Inpixon consummated a reorganization transaction pursuant to which certain Inpixon subsidiaries, including, AirPatrol Corporation and Shoom were merged with and into Lilien and Lilien changed its name to “Sysorex USA”; and all outstanding shares of capital stock of SGS were assigned to Lilien, pursuant to which SGS became a direct subsidiary of Lilien. Sysorex USA changed its name to Inpixon USA on March 1, 2017. On July 26, 2018, Inpixon USA merged into Sysorex, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Inpixon, for the purpose of changing its name and moving its state of formation from California to Nevada. Lilien significantly expanded Inpixon’s operations providing it with a Big Data analytics platform and enterprise infrastructure capabilities.

On August 31, 2018, Inpixon completed the spin-off (the “Spin-off”) of its value-added reseller business from its indoor positioning analytics business by way of a distribution of all the shares of common stock of Inpixon’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Sysorex, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Sysorex,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms), to holders of Inpixon’s common stock, preferred stock and certain Inpixon warrants as of August 21, 2018 (the “Record Date”). The distribution occurred by way of a pro rata stock distribution to such holders of common stock, preferred stock and warrants, each of whom received one share of Sysorex common stock for every three shares of Inpixon common stock held (or into which such preferred stock was convertible or warrants were exercisable) on the Record Date.

As a result of the Spin-off, Sysorex is an independent public company and Sysorex’s common stock began regular-way trading on the OTC Markets under the symbol “SYSX” on September 4, 2018.

Although the Spin-off was completed on August 31, 2018, the Company has reflected the Spin-off in these financial statements as if it occurred on September 30, 2018 as the Company determined that the impact is not material to the combined financial statements.

The financial statements present the combined results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of Sysorex and its subsidiary. These financial statements were prepared on a combined basis because the operations were under common control. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated between the combined entities.

Sysorex is a leading provider of information technology solutions from multiple vendors, including hardware products, software, services, including warranty and maintenance support, offered through our dedicated sales force, ecommerce channels, existing federal contracts and service team. Since our founding, we have served our customers by offering products and services from key industry vendors such as Aruba, Cisco, Dell, GETAC, Lenovo, Microsoft, Panasonic, Samsung, Symantec, VMware and others. We provide our customers with comprehensive solutions incorporating leading products and services across a variety of technology practices and platforms such as cyber, cloud, networking, security, and mobility. We utilize our professional services, consulting services and partners to develop and implement these solutions. Our sales and marketing efforts in collaboration with our vendor partners, allows us to reach multiple customer public sector segments including federal, state and local governments, as well as educational institutions. A very small percentage of our sales comes from commercial sales.

Revenues from our business are typically driven by public sector delivery orders that are received on a monthly basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 approximately 99% of our revenues were from these delivery orders. These delivery orders include information technology hardware, software, professional services, warranty and maintenance support, and highly integrated solutions that include two or more of the aforementioned items.

We experience variability in our net sales and operating results on a quarterly basis as a result of many factors. We experience some seasonal trends in our sales of technology solutions to government and educational institutions. For example, the fiscal year-ends of U.S. Public Sector customers vary for those in the federal government space and those in the state and local government and educational institution (“SLED”) space. We generally see an increase in our second quarter sales related to customers in the U.S. SLED sector and in our third quarter sales related to customers in the federal government space as these customers close out their budgets for their fiscal year (June 30th and September 30th respectively). We may also experience variability in our gross profit and gross profit margin as a result of changes in the various vendor programs we participate in and its effect on the amount of vendor consideration we receive from a particular vendor or their authorized distributor/wholesaler, which may be impacted by a number of events outside of our control. As such, the results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year.

A substantial portion of our business is dependent on sales through existing federal contracts, known as Government Wide Acquisition Contracts (“GWAC”). We have three key GWAC contracts, known in the industry as GSA Federal Supply Schedule IT 70, NASA SEWP V, and NIH CIO-CS. Maintaining current vendor offerings and pricing is critical to attaining sales.

Our planned operating expenditures each quarter are based in large part on sales forecasts for the quarter. If our sales do not meet expectations in any given quarter, our operating results for the quarter may be materially adversely affected. Our narrow margins may magnify the impact of these factors on our operating results. Management regularly reviews our operating performance using a variety of financial and non-financial metrics including sales, shipments, margin, vendor consideration, advertising expense, personnel costs, account executive productivity, accounts receivable aging, supplier inventory turnover, liquidity and cash resources. Our management monitors the various metrics against goals and budgets, and makes necessary adjustments intended to enhance our performance.

Our current debt repayment to key vendors due to prior non-payment of invoices has impacted our ability to receive the most favorable cost, terms, and delivery priority. General economic conditions also have an effect on our business and results of operations. For example, if the federal government fails to pass a budget or a continuing resolution before adopting an annual budget, our primary customers will not have the ability to make purchases off of our existing contracts until the budget issue is resolved. If current tariffs and stipulation by the government to require the purchase of goods that are substantially made or assembled in America are enacted, this could severely impact our ability to source from vendors whom manufacture overseas. These factors affect sales of our products, sales cycles, adoption rates of new technologies and level of price competition. We continue to focus our efforts paying down our debt, cost controls, competitive pricing strategies, capturing new contracts, and driving higher margin service and solution sales. We also continue to make selective investments in our sales force personnel, service and solutions capabilities and internal information technology infrastructure and tools in an effort to meet vendor program requirements and to position us for enhanced productivity and future growth.

Basis of Presentation

Sysorex, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sysorex Government Services, Inc., formerly known as Inpixon Federal, Inc. (“SGS”), (unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “SGS” “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer collectively to Sysorex and the above subsidiary), provides information technology solutions primarily to the public sector. These include cybersecurity, professional services, engineering support, IT consulting, enterprise level technology, networking, wireless, help desk, and custom IT solutions. The Company is headquartered in Virginia.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, which are the accounting principles that are generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of the Company’s operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 included in the Form 10 filed with SEC on June 15, 2018, as amended.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We periodically review our accounting policies, estimates and assumptions and make adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. In addition to the accounting policies that are more fully described in the Notes to the Combined Financial Statements included elsewhere in this information statement, we consider the critical accounting policies described below to be affected by accounting estimates. Our critical accounting policies that are affected by accounting estimates require us to use judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates and assumptions regarding matters that are inherently uncertain, and actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Hardware and Software Revenue Recognition

The Company is a primary resale channel for a large group of vendors and suppliers, including original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”), software publishers and wholesale distributors.

The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are established, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. The Company evaluates the following indicators amongst others when determining whether it is acting as a principal in the transaction and recording revenue on a gross basis: (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods or service, (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer and (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service. If the terms of a transaction do not indicate the Company is acting as a principal in the transaction, then the Company is acting as an agent in the transaction and the associated revenues are recognized on a net basis.

The Company recognizes revenue once control has passed to the customer. The following indicators are evaluated in determining when control has passed to the customer: (i) the Company has a right to payment for the product or service, (ii) the customer has legal title to the product, (iii) the Company has transferred physical possession of the product to the customer, (iv) the customer has the significant risk and rewards of ownership of the product and (v) the customer has accepted the product. The Company’s products can be delivered to customers in a variety of ways, including (i) as physical product shipped from the Company’s warehouse, (ii) via drop-shipment by the vendor or supplier or (iii) via electronic delivery of keys for software licenses. The Company’s shipping terms typically specify F.O.B. destination.

The Company leverages drop-shipment arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to its customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouses. The Company is the principal in the transaction and recognizes revenue for drop-shipment arrangements on a gross basis.

The Company may provide integration of products from multiple vendors as a solution it sells to the customer. In this arrangement the Company provides direct warranty to the customer with the Company’s own personnel as the customer requires warranty on the solution and not individual vendor products. This type of warranty is sold integral to the overall solution quoted to the customer. The Company considers these service-type warranties to be performance obligations of the principal from the underlying products that make up a solution and therefore is acting as a principal in the transaction and records revenue on a gross basis at the point of sale.

License and Maintenance Services Revenue Recognition

The Company provides a customized design and configuration solution for its customers and in this capacity resells hardware, software and other IT equipment license and maintenance services in exchange for fixed fees. The Company selects the vendors and sells the products and services, including maintenance services, that best fit the customer’s needs. For sales of maintenance services and warranties, the customer obtains control at the point in time that the services to be provided by a third-party vendor are purchased by the customer and therefore the Company’s performance obligation to provide the overall systems solution is satisfied at that time. The Company’s customers generally pay within 30 to 60 days from the receipt of a customer approved invoice.

For resales of services, including maintenance services, warranties, and extended warranties, the Company is acting as an agent as the primary activity for those services are fulfilled by a third party.

While the Company may facilitate and act as a first responder for these services, the third-party service providers perform the primary maintenance and warranty services for the customer. Therefore, the Company is not primarily responsible for performing these services and revenue is recorded on a net basis.

Professional Services Revenue Recognition

The Company’s professional services include fixed fee and time and materials contracts. Fixed fees are paid monthly, in phases, or upon acceptance of deliverables. The Company’s time and materials contracts are paid weekly or monthly based on hours worked. Revenue on time and material contracts is recognized based on a fixed hourly rate as direct labor hours are expended. Materials, or other specified direct costs, are reimbursed as actual costs and may include markup. The Company has elected the practical expedient to recognize revenue for the right to invoice because the Company’s right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the performance completed to date. For fixed fee contracts, the Company recognizes revenue evenly over the service period using a time-based measure because the Company is providing continuous service. Because the Company’s contracts have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations. Anticipated losses are recognized as soon as they become known. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not incur any such losses. These amounts are based on known and estimated factors. Revenues from time and material or firm fixed price long-term and short-term contracts are derived principally with various United States government agencies and commercial customers. 

The Company adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method which was applied to all contracts at the date of initial application. We recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new revenue standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our consolidated January 1, 2018 balance sheet for the adoption of Accounting Standards Update “ASU” No. 2014-09, Revenue — Revenue from Contracts with Customers were as follows (in millions):

In accordance with the new revenue standard requirements, the disclosure of the impact of adoption on our condensed consolidated income statement and balance sheet was as follows (in millions):

Long-lived Assets

We account for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“ASC 360”), which requires that long-lived assets be evaluated whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed. Some of the events or changes in circumstances that would trigger an impairment test include, but are not limited to:

Long-lived assets are grouped for recognition and measurement of impairment at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. The impairment test for long-lived assets requires us to assess the recoverability of our long-lived assets by comparing their net carrying value to the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows directly associated with and arising from our use and eventual disposition of the assets. If the net carrying value of a group of long-lived assets exceeds the sum of related undiscounted estimated future cash flows, we would be required to record an impairment charge equal to the excess, if any, of net carrying value over fair value.

When assessing the recoverability of our long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, we make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors. Some of these assumptions involve a high degree of judgment and also bear a significant impact on the assessment conclusions. Included among these assumptions are estimating undiscounted future cash flows, including the projection of comparable sales, operating expenses, capital requirements for maintaining property and equipment and residual value of asset groups. We formulate estimates from historical experience and assumptions of future performance, based on business plans and forecasts, recent economic and business trends, and competitive conditions. In the event that our estimates or related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment charge. Based on our evaluation, we did not record a charge for impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The benefits to be derived from our acquired intangibles, will take additional financial resources to continue the development of our technology. Management believes our technology has significant long-term profit potential, and to date, management continues to allocate existing resources to the develop products and services to seek returns on its investment. We continue to seek additional resources, through both capital raising efforts and meeting with industry experts, as part of our continued efforts. Although there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful, we intend to allocate financial and personnel resources when deemed possible and/or necessary. If we choose to abandon these efforts, or if we determine that such funding is not available, the related development of our technology (resulting in our lack of ability to expand our business), may be subject to significant impairment.

As described previously, we continue to experience weakness in market conditions, a depressed stock price, and challenges in executing our business plans. The Company will continue to monitor these uncertainties in future periods, to determine the impact.

We evaluate the remaining useful lives of long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets whenever events or circumstances indicate that a revision to the remaining period of amortization is warranted. Such events or circumstances may include (but are not limited to): the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and/or other economic factors including the stability of the industry in which we operate, known technological advances, legislative actions, or changes in the regulatory environment. If the estimated remaining useful lives change, the remaining carrying amount of the long-lived assets and identifiable intangible assets would be amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life. We have determined that there were no events or circumstances during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 which would indicate a revision to the remaining amortization period related to any of our long lived assets. Accordingly, we believe that the current estimated useful lives of long-lived assets reflect the period over which they are expected to contribute to future cash flows and are therefore deemed appropriate.

Deferred Income Taxes

In accordance with ASC 740 “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), we routinely evaluate the likelihood of the realization of income tax benefits and the recognition of deferred tax assets. In evaluating the need for any valuation allowance, we will assess whether it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. Ultimately, the realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during those periods in which temporary differences become deductible and/or tax credits and tax loss carry-forwards can be utilized. In performing our analyses, we consider both positive and negative evidence including historical financial performance, previous earnings patterns, future earnings forecasts, tax planning strategies, economic and business trends and the potential realization of net operating loss carry-forwards within a reasonable timeframe. To this end, we considered (i) that we have had historical losses in the prior years and cannot anticipate generating a sufficient level of future profits in order to realize the benefits of our deferred tax asset; (ii) tax planning strategies; and (iii) the adequacy of future income as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, based upon certain economic conditions and historical losses through September 30, 2018. After consideration of these factors we deemed it appropriate to establish a full valuation allowance.

A liability for “unrecognized tax benefits” is recorded for any tax benefits claimed in our tax filings that do not meet these recognition and measurement standards. As of September 30, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017, no liability for unrecognized tax benefits was required to be reported. The guidance also discusses the classification of related interest and penalties on income taxes. Our policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. No interest or penalties were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain our reserves for credit losses at a level we believe to be adequate to absorb potential losses inherent in the respective balances. We assign an internal credit quality rating to all new customers and update these ratings regularly, but no less than annually. Our determination of the adequacy of the reserve for credit losses for our accounts and notes receivable is based on the age of the receivable balance, the customer’s credit quality rating, an evaluation of historical credit losses, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors.

The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts was nominal as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

The following table sets forth selected unaudited condensed consolidated financial data as a percentage of our revenue and the percentage of period-over-period change:
